Call me a Luddite, but I yearn for the time when communication moved at the speed of a ridden horse. Our poor planet is suffering the effects of “Future Shock” and I don’t expect it to end well.

I won't go that far but I think we do depend on things like the internet too much and we put all our eggs into that basket. I'm an amateur radio operator and I think it is a mistake for a lot of countries and others to drop shortwave broadcasting and go online only. I think the internet is like the Tower of Babel, take a few hits here and there and it will come crashing down.
